There are many books that were uploaded when MR was using a different server and was following a life+50 rule. Some years ago there was a server change and it was decided that MR would obey life+70. Instead of deleting the files that did not comply with the new term, they were tagged as "offline" and downloads are disabled. This allows us to put the files back online if they become public domain in life+70 countries. Don't look at it as restriction to downloads, but as a way to keep old uploads for the future.
